In Beryl’s eyes, Conrad and Fia leaving was like the shadow of Garrett and Clarice leaving together!Beryl and Clarice had met Garett, and they became fast friends at the same time. Clarice’s family was not as wealthy as hers. Yet, Garrett was so foolish. He fell in love with Clarice!So, to claim Garrett from Clarice, Beryl used every connection and pulled every string her family had to force him to marry her. And it worked. They did get married. Yet, after getting married, Garrett became a lady’s man and went flirting with every woman he met out there.Still, Beryl tolerated him because she knew those women were not really his type. However, Clarice appeared again, and Garrett turned back into the perfect gentleman who loved only one woman. And the woman he chose was Clarice!“Why?!” Beryl said to herself, “Why did not he not choose me? Why do I have to suffer all this? To lose my love and see them living happily ever after?!”This was so unfair!Meanwhile, in the car, Fia star
Conrad hugged her, trying to console her. Fia wiped her tears and smiled. “You see, Mom. I’m already married. I already have a home with Conrad. So, what’s the point anymore, right? What’s the point of acknowledging him as my father? Besides, I’ve lived my whole life not having one. Mom, don’t worry. I can take care of myself.”Afterward, they sat on a huge rock on top of Mount Reditus for quite some time. Then, Fia gathered her emotions and, eyes still swollen with tears, smiled gently at Conrad. “Let’s go visit Match and Heaven.”Conrad nodded. “Sure. Let’s go.”……“Sir! Madam!” Silas greeted them happily before leading them to Match and Heaven. They talked about the horses’ recent well-being on their way. Fia, still hugging Conrad’s arm, raised her head and looked at Silas. She anxiously asked, “So, how’s the little horse baby?”Silas nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, Madam. The fetuses are doing fine!”“How many babies is Heaven carrying in her tummy right now?”Silas e
An hour later, Silas came to tell them that the ranch had prepared lunch for them. Fia rejected their offer because she wanted to make lunch for Conrad at home. Conrad worried that she would get too tired after visiting so many places today. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, “We live together now. There’s still a chance for you to cook for me. For now, let’s just have lunch at the ranch here, okay?”Silas agreed, “I couldn’t agree more. Besides, the ranch has new dishes on their menu. I bet they would suit your taste, Madam!”“Oh, what are they?” Fia was curious.“There’s roasted pork, roasted meats on sticks, and spicy squid and prawn! If you want some other food, I can ask the ranch to prepare something else.”Fia nodded. “Those sound great. Let’s go!”Silas led them to the restaurant attached to the ranch. They had already arranged for a private booth for their CEO. When they were about to enter the booth, Conrad felt a strong push coming from behind. He quickly circled
Conrad answered coldly, “They’re just spoiled brats from rich families. They have nothing better to do.”“How is it fun wasting their time like that?” Fia sighed.Conrad rubbed her head gently. “To them, it’s enjoying life, not wasting time.” “I guess you’re right. It’s up to themselves to decide whether they’re happy or not.” Fia agreed and looked to the sky.Perhaps, due to these people being born into rich families, they could afford to waste away their lives for fun. It must be nice to not have gone through much hardship in life.“Hey, look! It’s Mr. Maxwell! Hey, Mr. Maxwell! How are you?” The participants of the shooting game saw Conrad and approached them.“Mr. Maxwell, you’re here for a vacation too?”“You idiot! Mr. Maxwell is known to be a workaholic. There’s no way he’s got time for vacation!”“And who may this be…” They saw Fia, who was standing next to Conrad.Conrad hugged her shoulder and pulled her toward him. “She’s my wife.”“Ah, no wonder she looked famili
”I suppose you’re right about that.” Fia was not trying to find out about Grandpa Maxwell. She was just feeling bad for Conrad. The greater of a man he was right now, the more hardship he must have been through when he was younger. She felt regret that she could not be there for him when he went through all that. She could not go through it together with him back then.“Honey, let’s try not to fight anymore from now on, okay?” Fia hugged Conrad’s arm tightly as they walked out of the ranch.Conrad stopped and put his arms around her. “Okay.”Fia nudged her head against his shoulder and said, “But I keep having bad thoughts from time to time. Maybe I’ve gone crazy.”“No, you haven’t. It’s my fault,” Conrad said to her anxiously. “No. I know quite well that there’s something wrong with me.” Fia thought about it for a while before saying, “How about this?”She raised her head and looked at Conrad. “Let’s go to a hypnotherapist.”“Why do you want to go to a hypnotherapist?” Conra
“I know!” Victor said, irritated.Fia was stunned. “You knew? But you’re alright being their slave?”“How am I their slave? Why can’t it be that I have obtained evidence that I can use against them, and control them instead?!” Victor was so angry that he could feel his chest hurt.Fia could only stare at him speechlessly and then looked at Conrad, who was looking at her from some distance away.“Then… What are you going to do now?”“What else can I do? What do you do when you’re being bitten by two mad wolves? Find a chance to poison one of them!” Victor said angrily.Fia was speechless.She suddenly didn’t know what else to say.Conrad walked over in strides and said coldly, “With your abilities, who do you think you can control? You can’t even beat Tyler and you want to control those people? You’re dreaming!”Victor cursed as his eyes were filled with rage. “You’re just like that darn old man, looking down on me! I’ll wait for the day you come crawling to beg at me, and beli
Fia looked away and turned her attention to Conrad.“Why did you push Victor away? Were you afraid that I’d hear what you’re telling him?”Conrad gulped.“What did you say to him?” Fia persevered with her question.Conrad was getting a bit of a headache. If he was right, Eileen and Victor’s relationship would be beyond ridiculous. No wonder Victor would be so terrified that he simply collapsed on the ground.Very quickly, Fia remembered something.“Jason had a sister…” Her expression was filled with fear. “Could it be possible that she’s still alive?”Conrad held the steering wheel tightly. “She fell into the ocean when she was so little, and there was no news after searching her for half a month. She can’t be alive.”“What if someone saved her?” When Fia thought about the possibility, her head began to throb. She hoped that she was wrong. “The time that Eileen lost her blood, both you and Evans donated your blood to her.”Conrad frowned deeply. “That’s just a coincidence.”F
As long as no one revealed it, Eileen would never know about it.“Lyn… Tell Eileen to work hard. I’ll be waiting for her here!”“Of course, Mrs. Maxwell. I’ll let her know!”“Alright. Bye!”After Fia figured out everything, she was going to go upstairs to look for Conrad. Then she heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the door as well as people cursing.She looked at the door curiously.“Let us go, you b*stards!”“This is ridiculous! Esme is dead because of him! Is he going to finish us off too?!”Fia approached the door and saw Tiger and the bodyguards escorting a man and a woman into the courtyard.The man and woman were none other than Esme’s parents, Hank and Beth.Both of them were cursing and they looked like a mess.“Madam, is the boss here?” Tiger asked Fia politely when he saw her.Fia nodded and said, “He’s upstairs.”Tiger then said, “I’ll go up then.”“Sure,” Fia said as she moved to let Tiger enter the mansion.When the two of them saw Fia as they
